suspecting this, placed n Southern spy, n

woman was TO be conducted by Warsley to
Washington, but he was too smart for the
trap, and instead of using his Union pass
he led his companion through swnmps and
by-roads until she became disguised with
the trip and returned home, satisfied that
Warsley was not unloyal to the Confedera-

Acting upon this thought Mr.. Pease two
